Well, now I know what a coke oven is.
Hopefully these earthly remains will match to a known missing person.
Prayers for the family.

I wish there were more details like clothing or other items. Hoping for an identification soon.

Depending on how long the remains have been there, could this be a possibility?

Wow - I know where that is. We traveled that road when my daughter went to Alderson Broaddus in WV. I68 and I79 intersect not too far from there.

What happened? Did she just curl up in the coke oven and die? Does anyone have a picture of a coke oven? I have never heard of one before. Thanks in advance.
